Summary

Linton Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Northside Independent School District (Isd) serving 368 students, with a high level of economic need reflected in an 82.34% free/reduced lunch rate. The school has experienced a dramatic academic decline, dropping from the 70th percentile statewide in 2015-2016 to the 2nd percentile in the most recent data, a catastrophic fall that sets it apart from nearby peers. Despite this, Linton maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.1:1, lower than many surrounding schools, suggesting that challenges stem from instructional or socio-economic factors rather than overcrowding.

Linton's academic struggles are most acute in Science and Reading. In 2024-2025, only 7.69% of 5th graders were proficient in Science, the lowest rate among nearby Northside Independent School District (Isd) schools like Powell Elementary (21.13%) and Villarreal Elementary (17.65%). Reading proficiency is also critically low, with only 29.41% of 5th graders meeting standards, compared to 61.11% at nearby Esparza Elementary, a school with a similar demographic profile (84.2% free/reduced lunch) that ranks in the 46th percentile. This stark contrast highlights that improvement is possible, but Linton requires focused intervention.

There is one notable bright spot: in 2024-2025, Linton's 5th Grade Math proficiency rate was 48.08%, exceeding both the district (43.58%) and state (46.24%) averages, though this success was not sustained the following year. The school's performance for specific student groups has been volatile, with Special Education students dropping from the 79th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026. Overall, Linton is a school in crisis, needing comprehensive strategies to reverse its trajectory, especially in Science and Reading, while leveraging its low student-teacher ratio for more individualized support.

The staff is very professional great role models. My children 1st & 4th grade love the school. My children are in music and drama classes outside school so needless to say they like to be challenged educationally. Linton does that for them they are learning so much. I am a very happy parent!!!
